May be these were ordered by Japanese delar shop. I saw the bass at the shop that I haunted. It has small body and Tree of Life inlays. Custom guitar has nice inlays at finger board just like Santana's guitar !?. I don't know who owns it now. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2001 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, October 15, 2004 - 4:33 pm:    The store that bought these was called Top the Line. In 1987 my mom, dad, Stanley Clarke and I visitied this shop, I think it was in Shibuya. They had a great collection of Alembics there. bigredbass Advanced Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 319 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, October 15, 2004 - 10:45 pm:    Mica, what shapes are these two? Are they custom, or are there templates for these? Is the guitar the 'Scarab' I hear mentioned from time to time?

The price is over $5000. But Tree of life inlay is $6000 option now. If the bass has 5 strings ....

I'm going to be in Japan for a few weeks in December, but not in Tokyo - probably a good thing, I might be tempted! By the way, the horns on the guitar you originally posted look kind of like my doubleneck... hellotrae New Username: hellotrae Post Number: 5 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Saturday, October 23, 2010 - 2:45 pm:    Ok...After seeing room37's post of the replica I am getting pretty stoked!

But $5000 was the exchange rate at that time. If I find it same price, the price will be over $7000 now. By the way, I like oliginal shape of the Santana guitar. Original has larger body with tummy and elbow contour.
